Dear Mr Gagnon,


Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Gypsum Fantastic. You wrote to me some time back informing me that a client of yours - also named Gypsum Fantastic - had died in a car accident in Togo. I understand you have $12.5 Million dollars of the unfortunate Mr Fantastics money just lying there waiting to be 'repatriated'. I am intrigued and I must say very interested in this. You say there is nothing illegal about this? I wish to know more. I would expect a reasonable share of course.

Could you please communicate with me either in writing or by email as I am partially deaf and I cannot use telephones. I also find them unhygienic.

Best Regards

Dear Mr Gangnam,

I would very much like to visit you prior to undertaking this business venture. I can fly to Africa next week if convenient on Monday or Tuesday. Can you recommend any good hotels in Lome Togo? Nothing too expensive but not too shabby either. I am accustomed to living to a certain standard and I must have a room which has its own bathroom facility and a bidet for the washing of my nether regions.

Please let me know by return.

Dear Mr Gagnom,


As I said in my first email, I cannot use telephones due to suffering from partial deafness resulting from an explosion in my army years in 1956 during one of the less popular wars. I am afraid the only way I can communicate with you is by email. I can lip read but I don't have one of those video camera things on my computer. You can write to me at my home address which is as follows :

From: Gypsum Fantastic

Dear Mr Gagnon,

Can you please forward me the address of your office so I can meet you there with the the fee. $12.500 does seem quite a lot of money for reactivating a bank account but you do seem like a decent chap. As a show of trust on your part would you mind doing me a favour so that I can positively identify you? Could you send me a photograph of yourself holding up a picture of a famous Hollywood star ie Tom Cruise or Kris Kristofferson. That way I will be certain that it is indeed you I am handing over the money to and not some ne'er-do-well charlatan imposter.

Best Regards

Gypsum Lionel Fantastic.



From: Gypsum Fantastic
To: Michel Gagnon


Dear Mr Gagnon,

I have been in Lome for 2 days now and I still have not seen a picture of you arrive. I am beginning to doubt that you are a real barrister at all.

If you wish to meet me I will be at the Faso Inn, Avenue Jean Paul II at 2000hrs tomorrow evening. So that you will recognise me I will be carrying a copy of 'Hustler' magazine and wearing a red carnation in my lapel. So that I can positively identify you I want you to say "Good Evening sir, the air in Minsk is very crisp this time of year." when you approach me.

Best Wishes

Gypsum Lionel Fantastic.

From: Michel Gagnon
To: Gypsum Fantastic


Send phone number.



From: Gypsum Fantastic
To: Michel Gagnon


Mr Gagnon,

I have already told you I cannot communicate by phone as I have hearing difficulties. I waited at the Faso Inn for over 2 hours last night and you didn't turn up.

I'm beginning to think you may be an imposter, a charlatan and a bounder Mr Gagnon.

You ask for much and deliver nothing. I want some proof of your ID before I proceed any further with this venture.

I don't know who you are yet, I don't know what you want. If you are looking for my phone number I can tell you I don't have a phone. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you send me your photograph now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will take a picture of you. Maybe take you for a coffee too.

Gypsum Lionel Fantastic.



From: Michel Gagnon
To: Gypsum Fantastic


Mr. Lionel,


Please take note of the fact that, I am not always on the internet that is why I keep requesting for your telephone number. If you insist you are having hearing problems, you can easily give the telephone to your nephew whom you said will be traveling with you.

I have to speak with you on telephone to confirm your present location. The money involved here is very huge and I will not risk my life by snapping a picture of myself or my family and posting it to you.

Listen very carefully to me; you can write me a text message if your hearing problem has increased or worstened. All I need do is to confirm your present location. Do not tell me to come here and there as you wish. I cannot endanger my life for this cause.

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Michel Magnon.

From: Gypsum Fantastic
To: Michel Gagnon


Dear Michel,

Unfortunately my nephew and his friend were unable to accompany me to Togo so I am travelling alone. It is for this reason that I request a photo of you for identification as I am also carrying a large amount of US Dollars.

I think it is I who is most at risk alone here in a foreign country my friend. As a sign of my good faith I have attached a picture of myself taken this morning at the Hotel so that you can identify me easily. I would expect a picture of you by return.

I only have a few days left here in Lome before I return to London. Today I will be visiting the Grand Marche as I believe it is very interesting. I wil be there until approximately 1800hrs this evening. Failing that you can meet me at the hotel although I will not meet you before you provide me with some ID beforehand.

I must warn you that I am not a man to be crossed. I am an expert in the martial arts particularly in the art of Ming Pong Wah in which I am a black belt. Any funny business and you will find yourself on the floor clutching your windpipe or gonads or possibly both.

Regards

Gypsum Lionel Fantastic

From: Michel Gagnon
To: Gypsum Fantastic

Dear Gypsum,

Thanks for your photo i want you to understand that i dont want anything that will spoil my business because you can not hear and i dont want the bank to know that you cant hear there will be a lots of quastions so i will advise you to go back to your country we can do the business while i will be here is only me that knows you cant hear.

Gypsum when you go back ask you brother to call me so that we can talk on phone and anytime you want to come make sure you come with him.

Have a nice day.

Michel.

From: Gypsum Fantastic
To: Michel Gagnon

Dear Michel,

I am outraged! are you suggesting that I will spoil your business with the bank just because I am hard of hearing? Have you not heard of lipreading? Is deafness illegal in Togo? You act as though some disability is a social shame. Do you think I am some kind of window-licker? I can scarcely believe what I am reading here. I am beginning to think you are not a real barrister but instead are some kind of fly-by-night shyster of a cockamamie flim-flam artist.

I am in Togo until Wednesday 29th May. You need to seriously think about whether or not this deal goes ahead before I leave. Believe me you don't want to make me leave here empty handed. I might just have to pull my Ming Pong Wah shit on you. Last mofo I pulled my Ming Pong Wah shit on still ain't walkin' right. No sir, he hardly walkin' at all.....mmm mmm.

Yours Faithfully

Gypsum Lionel Fantastic.

Mr. Gypsum Lionel Fantastic

Why are you making all things difficult for us to see. I do not like games. If truely you are in Togo. I would advice you to make a call to my telephone number to confirm your true location OR you can send a short message SMS to my phone number.

Where exactly are you lodged?

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Michel Esq.




From: Gypsum Fantastic
To: Michel Gagnon

Dear Michel,

It is you that is making things dificult to see - your photograph for example, that's difficult to see as you haven't sent one.

As for games, I quite like them. My favourite game is Buckaroo. Are you aware of Buckaroo? It involves a plastic horse and the taking off the horse various items until it gets annoyed. I feel like that Buckaroo horse at the moment and everytime you don't send me some ID it's like you are adding a small plastic pickaxe or a cowboy hat. I also enjoy the game Moustrap but it takes a long time to set up and hardly seems worth it in the end. Especially if the little man on the diving board misses his swimming pool.

As for the hotel I have already told you I am staying at the Mercure in Lome.

I urge you to stop fannying about.

Dear Gypsum,

Good evening,I want to guarantee you of the authencity and legality of this matter despite your skeptism towards this gestures as this is not a hoax hence every step to the procedures of this matter must be legally followed.Find the Attached file of my Authorization letter as a Legal Luminary.

I respect your age and have regards to your standings. It is very difficult to differentiate fantasy and reality in this modern age because of bad experiences people have had one way or the other and this is adversely affecting genuine and serious transactions just like this.

I am not in any way trying to force you to go against your decision and stand but I only want to clear my concience over issue in reconfirmation that my transaction has nothing to do with any scam. I am a lawyer and I stand on oath to the ethics of my profession to state once again that this is real and legal and this mistake is from my scretary she told me that she filled in wrong address, am very sorry for that and I don't know what is wrong with her.

I advise that your should give me trust and wish you to revert your stand so that we can proceed in the accomplishment of this goal because I do not want to make this matter as an advert by jumping from one person to the other to risk success at the end of the day. I so heartedly solicited your co-operation with every good intentions for the benefit of both of us. It will be a mark of failure on my part if the said estate is lost to the bank for lack of claim and my deceased client wherever he is will not be happy with me for my laxity.

With due respect, I agree with you that there are alot of dubious persons all over the world and if I am in your shoes,I will be cautious and reason same way like you are doing now because of bad experience but not to extent of qualifying every transaction as flue. Facts, are not hidden and with a matured mind one can always feel it. This transaction like I said is for real and would want you to give me the benfit of doubt and coperate with me and I guarantee you that at the end of the day we will rejoice together.

Finally, please do take note that I made this offer to you by virtue of synonimity, Again have it in mind that I can never involve myself in anything illegal no matter the benefit attached to it, So I Urge you to kindly adhere to all my advice and instruction to see this transaction through.If you are done with the above explanation kindly do as instructed before.

Thanks and God Bless,

Dear Michel,

Thank you for your letter and your attached Authorization document which I must say looks very impressive. I like that your name is printed in the middle of the document in really tiny letters. I had to get my magnifying glass out so I could read it was actually your name. I see your license is signed by Dr Phillip Mojoh. I like that name - he sounds like a man of integrity and also like a small fruity sweet from the 1970's.

I am sorry to hear that your secretary filled in the wrong address. Although I have no idea what you are talking about with this I think you should reprimand her most seriously, though please make this verbal and don't involve machetes or heavy bladed weapons or tyres.

I am back home now as I did not want to meet you as you failed to provide identification. I would still like to see a picture of you so I know who I am dealing with. Maybe you could post a picture of yourself holding the Authorization certificate? I must say I did enjoy my time in Togo. I would like to live there one day if we manage to secure these riches of which you speak.

Are you a married man Mr Gagnon? do you have a family? As for me I never married. I never met the right girl really. There was a young lady I was very taken with when I was in my twenties. We were very much in love and we were to be married, however it was not to be as she was killed in an unfortunate gardening accident. To this day I can't look at dwarf conifers. I don't like looking at dwarfs either....give me the bloody creeps.

Anyway I digress. Send me the picture Michel and let me know how we move this debacle along.

Good day,i am barrister Stevenson Ekenna,i will like you to stand as the heir to my deceased client,(Mr.Andrew Prendergast) who deposited the sum of $5.7 million with a bank here in Togo. He died on July 2007 with his family members without any registered next of kin and the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. Upon your reply i will give you the details. Awaiting your response to my private email.. ekennastevenson@ymail.com

From andyprendergast@hotmail.com

To: ekennastevenson@ymail.com  08/05/13

Dear Ekenna,

How are you? as for me I am fine. I am sorry to hear about your deceased client who seems to share the same name as me. My middle name is Clementine. How is the weather in Togo? I imagine it is very hot. Is Togo where Togas were invented? I have always wondered that.
I like the sound of this $5.7 million open beneficiary mandate thing - I think I'd like a slice of the action although, truth be told I am already pretty wealthy as I own England's largest chain of pigeon corn supply shops (see attached the local store). We have 62 outlets throughout the country with a new flagship store opening in Pudsey on Friday. There is going to be a big opening ceremony and we had originally booked Jimmy Tarbuck to open the store but his agent rang yesterday to say he couldn't make it. Instead we are flying in Leonard Nimoy who used to be in that old Star Trek series.

Anyway, I have to go as I have business shit to attend to. You have my email details now so let me know how we can hustle this thing along.

BTW do you mind if I call you Kenny?

Regards

Andy

Good day,
I hope you are doing well. I have read your mail,i contacted you based on my deceased client,Mr.Prendergast,he deposited the sum of $5.7 million with a bank here in Togo. He died on July 2007 with his family members without any registered next of kin and the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate,based on the inheritance laws of Togo,the bank will notify the representative lawyer if nobody claims the money after 5 years,he had no registered next of kin and as such the bank has notified me to present the relatives or have the funds confiscated,having searched for his relatives without finding anyone alive,i decided to contact you before the bank confiscates the money . However you need to furnish to me with the following information for immediate action;

1. Your full name and address
2. Your private phone number
3. Marital status
4. Age & Nationality
5. Occupation
6. Identity Card(Driver's License or International passport)

I appreciate your seriousness and commitment to collaborate with me in claiming this fund from the Bank instead of leaving them to confiscate the funds. However, it does not really matter if you are not the biological next of kin to my deceased client, because as the legal counsel to the deceased, it is my onus to present the next of kin/beneficiary to the inheritance of my late client to the bank. So you need not to worry in any way. All i need is your permission to present you as the next of kin to my late client to the bank so that we could transfer this fund out immediately.
PROCEDURES:

1. Procurement of affidavit of claim:
With your forwarded information, I shall be going to the Registry of the Togolese High Court  to procure the per-requisite legal documents and an Affidavit of claim in your favor as the next of kin to the late depositor. This affidavit of claim is a legal paper work that will confer on you, the statutory right to lay this claim.

2. Formal application to bank.

Upon the procurement of the affidavit, I shall proceed to the bank and submit every necessary document to the legal department to put claims for the transfer of the said fund to your account. Once I file this application, the paying bank will approve the funds and transfer to an account that you would nominate. I know all these might be alien to you, but as a renowned attorney, I know what to do and how to go about the procedure. All I need is your full co-operation and understanding.
Rest assured that this transaction is legitimate and you will not regret partaking in it. It would be completed within twelve (12) working days if you are co-operative and communicative. The procedures for making claims are very simple and straight forward. The procedures would be followed within the ambit of the law, such that none of us shall get into any kind of trouble or be under any litigation at the end of this transaction.

Finally, to avoid misunderstanding at the end of the transaction, I want you to confirm to me, your acceptance of a 40% share of the total fund, While 5% will be set aside for the less privileged, then 55% for me. Please call me immediately you receive this mail on my direct phone number  +228-9297-52-46  for  more  details regarding this. In anticipation of your most wonderful co-operation and understanding, I wish you all the best.
Best regards!

Dear Kenny,

How are you? As for me I am fine. Thank you for your prompt reply. I have tried to ring your office but I cannot seem to get an answer. Maybe you are very busy as I imagine the world of Barristering is just as busy as the hury-burly world of Pigeon Corn supplying. Please find below the details as you have requested so that we may proceed with this venture.

1. Your full name and address : Andrew Clementine Enoch Prendergast
2. Your private phone number  :0161 378 9761
3. Marital status                       : Eligible Bachelor
4. Age & Nationality                 :44 yrs, British
5. Occupation                           :Pigeon Corn Magnate
6. Identity Card(Driver's License or International passport)   :  Yes, I have both although I am currently not allowed to drive because of various drink/driving misdemeanours. (one of them involving a minibus full of nuns on a day trip to Hartlepool)

I hope  this information is enough for you to approach the Togonese High Court with the claim. As you can see I am not a married man but I can assure you I am not a homosexual - au contraire, I am quite the ladies man.

I have had a good look at your passport ID and everything seems to be in order. I must say you remind me of a younger version of the famous newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Dear Kenny,

How are you? as for me I am fine. Please find attached a scan of my passport so that we may proceed with our little 'venture'.
As we are about to enter into a considerable business deal together I think you should know more about me.

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a pigeon corn dealer. Other kids at school dreamed of being train drivers, firemen, astronauts etc but I always dreamt of being the UK's leading supplier of pigeon corn. I have always been fascinated by pigeons and they always seem to have been part of my life. Here are some interesting facts about pigeons :

1. Pigeons are often mistakenly described as birds - they are in fact mammals and have warm blood and fur under their feathered exterior.
2. Pigeons can fly at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour (approximately 100 knots in sailing terms).
3. Pigeons can consume up to 16 times their body weight in pigeon corn every day.

4. During World War 2 specially trained pigeons were used to drop tiny bombs on German troops in France.
5. Despite fact no. 4 - the French actually eat pigeons and consider them a delicacy, the ungrateful cheese-eating surrender- monkeys.

If you would like to know more about pigeons or pigeon corn please let me know. I have attached a picture of a pigeon for your reference.

As for my personal life I am not married and live with my personal assistant and lifestyle coach Harvey Benedict Sinclair. Despite this I can assure you I am not a homosexual - au contraire - I have bedded a string of attractive women and I am considered something of a 'Ladies Man' in these parts.

Best Regards

Hi Kenny,

How are you? as for me I am fine. I am not surprised you can not get through to my phone as I had it stolen from me a few nights ago. I had been out for a night on the town with my personal assistant Harvey Benedict Sinclair. We had a few drinks around Canal Street with some of Harvey's friends from the hair salon (see attached photo).

One thing led to another and I found myself walking home along the canal where I was set upon under a bridge by some rough men. They assaulted me in the worst possible way and stole my phone, wallet and house keys....it was mostly horrible.

I am awaiting a new phone being delivered so in the meantime if you could email me with any news on our little business venture.

I know that Canal Street in Manchester is a mainly known as a notorious gay area I can assure you that I am not a 'friend of Dorothy' - au contraire - I have the deserved reputation as something of a red-hot heterosexual with a string of glamorous girlfriends.

Your Friend

Good morning sir
Your response has been well observed, I wish to inform you that I was successful in processing the legal document/affidavit required by the bank which are necessary for this operation, I have already sent the document to the bank and I also informed the bank that my late client's relative will contact the bank soon. Listen carefully to this, you have to write an application letter via email to the bank immediately, inform the bank that you have already contacted the family lawyer, me, Stevenson Ekenna regarding your late cousin's deposit with the bank, bank name is ECOBANK, TOGO. This is the bank contact details below ....

Ecobank Togo
20, Sylvanus Olympio Avenue
P.O. box:BP 3 302 – Lomé Togo
Phone: 00 228 9838 4697

Email: ecobank.togo@qxp.mobi

Contact the bank and tell them you want them to help you process the transfer the funds of your late cousin (Edgar Prendergast) which he deposited in their bank to your bank account, do not tell the bank that i am the person who informed you about this money,you have to act as if you are already aware of the existence of this money, okay. Tell the bank that the family lawyer(me) has already forwarded the legal document to the bank and that you have also been in touch with me, write an application to the bank immediately so the bank can start processing the transfer of the funds to your account.

Inform me as soon as you contact the bank, remember what I said, if the bank asks you any question which you do not know,please inform me. Finally, I remind you that all matters relating to this transaction be kept secret and confidential until the money is transferred to your account, I do not want anything to jeopardize this transaction,i really need this transaction to be smooth and successful due to my worsening financial situation as my wife is sick and and she's undergoing heart surgery,i have exhausted all my life savings on her medical bills and i am totally broke. So do not make i any mistake,i beg of you,handle this transaction carefully,i await your response as soon as you contact the bank,have a nice day.

I am very sorry to hear about your wife's heart condition, perhaps if this deal goes through you can buy her a new one.  They can do amazing things these days. I once saw a picture of a mouse that had a human ear transplanted on it's back. I don't know why they would want to do that? I bet everything was really loud for the mouse and it had to avoid noisy places. Here I found a picture of it - it's pretty horrible.
 

Who is this Edgar bloke anyway? I thought the dead bloke was called Andrew like me? I think I'll cover our tracks by calling him Edgar Andrew like it's his middle name, like Edgar Alan Poe.

I will email the bank later with my claim and don't worry, I will keep all this very secret and confidential. It's all very exciting. 

What's the weather like in Togoland? It's been pissing down here all day. I imagine it's very hot where you are. I've been thinking about the 5% share for the poor people and I think we should increase it to say 6% as I am something of a philanthropist. What do think about that?
Anyway I have to go as Harvey Benedict Sinclair and I are going to see an all night Judy Garland film extravaganza at the cinema. Despite this I can assure you I am not an old poof - au contraire - I have the reputation as quite the gigolo around these parts.  

 Your friend

Andy

Dear Sirs,

How are you? as for me I am fine. I am writing to you today with regards to the funds resting in your bank which belong to my dear departed cousin Edgar Andrew Prendergast. Edgar and I were very close and as little girls we often played together on my Uncle Bernards turkey farm in rural Norfolk. Uncle Bernard was one of Englands biggest turkey farmers and was very, very rich. Edgar and I were very close until I went away to an exclusive public school to study Classical Literature and Buggery. Edgar moved to Africa after Uncle Bernard died. Edgars mother married an African gentleman named Bassoon Umbangy who was a village elder statesman with his own detached hut.

My cousin Edgars trusted family lawyer Ekenna Stevenson has been in conact with me re Edgars sizeable fortune and he has already posted a legal document with you so that these funds may be transferred to myself.

Please accept this as an official request from myself to transfer the funds to my bank account.

If you require any further information please contact me. For your information my name is Andrew Clementine Enoch Prendergast and I reside in Manchester, England. I am the UK's leading retailer of pigeon corn and I own and operate a string of succesful shops nationwide. I have many influential friends both in the world of showbusiness and politics. I have attached a picture of myself with former US President Richard Nixon so you can see exactly what kind of people have moved within my social circle.

Yours Faithfully

Dear Kenny,

How are you? as for me I am fine. Today I got this email from Ifeyani Azodo at the Togo Ecobank - it's asking a few awkward questions about my dead cousin Edgar. I'm hoping you can help me out with this. I don't know anything about his family etc as I never heard of him before I got your Facebook message. I gave the bank a bit of a story about him moving to Africa etc to give us a bit of credibilty. I hope you can provide some answers for them.  I'm getting very excited as the endgame is near now. I have been trying to imagine exactly what I will do with all that money. The nearest thing I can imagine is portrayed by the image attached.......fondue luxury.

Dear Kenny,How are you? As for me I am fine. Thank you for providing me with the answers to the banks questions. I will forward the answers to them later. I must admit I almost soiled myself when I saw how much that the bank wanted for 3 documents - TWO MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND!!!!!! then I saw that it wasn't in real money but in West African money. Holy cow how do you carry that much cash around with you? you must have to take a wheelbarrow full of money with you when you go down to the shops! How much would it cost me to shoot a lion in Togo? I have always wanted to shoot a lion as they are such magnificent beasts. I would have it skinned and use it like a rug like they do in old films when they lie on the floor with their mouths open.

I am considering flying out to Togo when the transaction goes through. Would it be possible to meet you? I would travel with my friend and personal assistant Harvey Benedict Sinclair. We go on holiday together frequently and we often share a room but I can assure you this is purely for cost savings and we are not 'batty boys' as you may say - au contraire - I have had more glamorous girlfriends than Simon Cowell who is also a man's man like me.

I have always wanted to visit Africa, ever since I was a small boy and I watched Daktari, Born Free and Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion or 'Clarence der Schielende Lowe' as my Uncle Dolf called him. (see picture attached)

I used to spend a lot of time with Uncle Dolf in Argentina when I was a small boy until Uncle Dolf disappeared one day and was never seen again. I was very sad. I have enclosed a picture of me and Uncle Dolf in happer times. 

Anyway Kenny, I must go now. I will make arrangements with my own bank tomorrow to get my share of the document money over to you.

Toodle Pip!

Your Full Name
Your Address
Your Bank Name & Address
Your Bank Account number
Your Bank Sort Code
Your Mothers Maiden Name
Your Secret Password for the account
Your Bank Account Pin Number
A picture of you in skimpy shorts

The last item is not strictly necessary for the transfer but it may come in useful at some point.

Hi Kenny,

I will try and find a branch of the Western Union near me so I can transfer the funds. I think there is one near to where my shop is on Reddish Lane so I will have a look in the morning. In the meantime here is a picture of a monkey riding a horse as a gesture of goodwill and an indication of my serious intent.

Cowabunga!

Andy
